Pleasurepays

the funny thing is that you guys actually have nothing but questions and stupid remarks... rather than simply quoting the laws or stating a legal clear legal position that provides some grounds to establish the legality of what you are doing. that tells me that most of you (with the exception of one poster here and another company that also obviously sought out legal counsel before going live with a site) have absolutely no clue. thats a pretty irresponsible position given todays political climate, the usual inherent risks in porn and the fact that you are pushing further than most into a very gray area of the law.




there are federal laws and there are state laws. i would guess that the short answer is that every porn site on the web is probably illegal in at least one or more US states, counties or cities. the issue of rape or what could be considered illegal content depicting rape, would obviously add another layer of risk and legal liabilities.

1) he uses alcohol to get someone drunk with the intent of assualting them sexually (or at least knows the victem is drunk and going to "pass out" at his residence)

2) he then proceeds with the sexual assault.

3) he then confirms at the end that the victem never woke up during the assualt - (no arguable hint of consent or even conscious awareness of what is happening).

this is a basic summary which seems to sum up a lot of what i have read as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape

"Rape is the act of forcing penetrative sexual acts, against his or her will through violence, force, threat of injury, or other duress, or where the victim is unable to decline, due to the effects of drugs or alcohol."

"Definitions of rape

Rape is, in most jurisdictions, a crime defined as sexual intercourse or penetration without valid consent by both parties. In some jurisdictions, rape is defined by penetration of the anus or the vagina by a penis, while in other jurisdictions, the penetration of either the vagina or the anus need not be by a penis, but can be by other objects such as a finger or a dildo. Some jurisdictions expand the definition of rape further to include other sexual acts without valid consent, including oral copulation and masturbation."

i would also venture to guess that a disclaimer as you have, stating that its all fun and games doesn't mean that what factually happened (i.e. two models shot some content) and what is depicted as having had happened (i.e. first degree sexaul assualt) are seen as two seperate things by the law. my understanding is that its about what is depicted in the content and the context that matters. just in the same way that you can't produce a film called raped preteen girls and just throw up a disclaimer saying its ok.
